Abstract
Motivated by the high data rate requirement, full- duplex (FD) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has attracted much attention in both academia and industry. However, FD and MIMO techniques require high power consumption. To strike the balance between the data rate and power consumption, we propose a novel hybrid duplexing strategy, in which antennas are distributed across the service areas and are capable of working in hybrid modes of FD, half- duplex (HD) and sleeping mode, leading to higher energy efficiency (EE) than FD mode only due to enhanced degree of freedom. Based on the hybrid duplexing strategy, we maximize system EE by jointly designing transmitting/receiving chains' activation/deactivation at DAs, downlink beamformer, and uplink transmission power. Novel optimization algorithms are developed. Simulation results confirm that the hybrid duplexing distributed antenna (DA) system provides significant EE improvement over the conventional centralized FD MIMO system, showing its green evolution and applicability to future network deployment.
